Best Jewellery for Your Colouring
How to choose gold, silver, rose gold or mixed metal jewellery based on your skin undertone and colour season.
Jewellery is the easiest colour test to make a daily decision on. Here's how to confidently choose your metal — and pull off mixing.
Warm undertones — go gold
Yellow gold, rose gold and copper all flatter. Antique brass works too. Avoid pure silver against bare skin.
Cool undertones — go silver
Sterling silver, platinum and white gold all flatter. Cool-toned rose gold (pinker, less coppery) can also work.
Neutral undertones — both work
Mix freely — most luxury brands now mix golds and silvers in single pieces.
How to mix metals well
Mixing reads intentional when it's in pairs (two rings, one of each) rather than a single chaotic stack. Watches are the easiest mixing entry — gold case, silver bracelet.
Frequently asked questions
Will silver tarnish faster on warm skin?
No — tarnishing depends on humidity and sulphur, not your undertone.
Can I wear rose gold if I'm cool?
Choose a cooler rose gold — pinker, less coppery.
